Pros

Power Onjects culture and people are great. I've experienced real teamwork in action. The colleagues are friendly at every level and also the management is supportive. You can run fast as you want to build your career and experience. The projects are interesting with high profile clients. Internal knowledge sharing framework helps develop skills quickly. It also allows you to navigate around the business to build your own network and go to people. I made many friends with like-minded people. I enjoyed the consistent way of working and approach to the project. Easy to follow best practices and processes to deliver quality.

Cons

Exceptional individual case. COVID pandemic caused difficulty in managing workloads and family life. However, this wasn’t an issue during the pre-COVID years of employment. The shared services concept is not mature. Which is an excellent idea in theory giving the opportunity to work on multiple projects in small chunks quickly at your strengths or area you’ll like to focus on. But in practice, the the new model requires individuals spending more of their your own time. Confident this will be the thing of the past, based of some of the effort I've seen to improve this process model. Performance reviews are artificially manipulated to fit greater HCL framework. This process should be managed locally at human level by PowerObjects than a date approach.

Pros

Free lunch once a month, and decent benefits.

Cons

PowerObjects seems to be a very confused company that has experienced growth and lost sight of their own core values. The company is a lot of hype and no follow through. They hook inexperienced prospective employees with false promises. They prefer to hire employees with less qualifications than the industry standard and pay much less than industry standard. They do not do regular employee reviews and will play favorites when it comes to promotions and raises. They continue to hire new consultants even when current employees are struggling to get billable hours and create a kill or be killed environment. All the awards, free lunches and benefits all look great on the outside but the company will manipulate you into thinking you are getting a great opportunity. Once you dig deeper and realize the facade you will be hoping for an easy way out. You will be at the mercy of their leadership team who will promote their friends and cut everyone else short. They use the term "lateral move" to manipulate employees to take a promotion without a pay increase. I would highly recommend thinking twice if you are interested in PowerObjects everything you see on the outside is not what it seems.
